Follow the instructions by entering the connection settings indicated above. This connection method however will not enable you to edit your online files.
With synchronization, your data can be accessed even when you are offline. They are saved locally in your computer and remotely in your virtual drive. The synchronization software will make sure to update edited files when your bandwidth is less busy.
FTPbox is a software that enables synchronizing a specific folder over several computers via FTP. Your files are thus available, even when offline.
